9th jan-10 jan

Arrrr my baby boy had to go to the jhon radclife hospital on the 9th jan. Wat happened was thar he had been constantly screaming for 5 hours since 5pm till 10pm,bringing up his whole bottle he also had a rash and was constapated.So i rang out of hours and we took him there to be checked out we got there at 11:30pm and didnt get sean till 12pm. They sent us to the jhon radclife we got there at 3am spent 3 and a half hours an a and e. Then got put on a children ward to be observed we finally left there the 10th jan at 5pm. They couldnt find anything seriously wrong but gave him a laxitive and Gaviscon Infant to put in his bottles to thicken it so it wont come up as easy.

15th jan

ohh it just gets better. When Alfie was in me in one of my ultasounds they noticed one of his kidneys was a bit big. When he was born he had an altrasound blood tests and was put on antibiotics for 6 weeks till he had another scan. Well it not an ordinary scan he has got to have a catheter put in. I wont go into detail but its just horrible i feel so sorry for him. This is happening on the 28th jan.

22nd jan

Had my 6 week check up everything is fine. Just my backs been hurting so he gave me some painkillers and i am now on the pill.

oooouuuuuuccccccccchhhhhhhh ouch lol my back kills.

stupid tablets aint even working.

28th jan

Well he had his kidney check today. I couldnt bare to go in so Ric did. He does have a small kidney reflux which means when he pees not all of it comes out some goes back up and into his kidneys. So he has to stay on antibiotics for a YEAR and it then should have cleared up if it hasnt then Alfie will have to have a opperation when he is 7. Fingers crossed it will just go away.

30th jan

Well since and before Alfie was born we have been looing for a place to live. When Alfie was born Ric moved in with me and my parents, they said we could have till the end of jan to get our own place or they would make us homeless basicly. Well i didnt think anything of it i thought that we would find somewhere but its been rele tough trying to find somewhere that excepts the benefits that we are on, thats cheep enough or closs to Rics work place. So we dont have a place to go and we got to be out by 2moz night.Mum rang a homeless counciler 2day who came out and she can give us a place about a hour and a half away from where Ric works and where my family and friends are and its only short term. This is so stressfull and really tough. Wish we could get our own place sorted.

5th feb

Wooooo hoooo lol finally got our own place its not in my home town but its only 30 min drive away. 1 bed little house, move in on friday the 8th. so excited.

Alfie has just cought a little cold he is all stuffed up and coughing bless him. He also has got his first jabs on monday the 11th awww bless him. We both got docs on friday to him for his cold and me for my bloody back lol.

11th feb

Alfie had his first set of jabs yesterday bless him. He was so good at the clinic getting weighed and having hid physical check. He was cooing and smiling to everyone being a very happy boy. When he had his jab he did let out quite a scream and held his breath. But he soon calmed down after some big cuddles from his mummy. His check went good the doctor was very suprized at how strong he is lol. He does have something wrong with his right eye but its nothing serious and will clear up its self.

Its going so good at our new place. For the mo im loving doing the cooking and cleaning but i reckon that will change soon lol. Me and ric are getting on much better actually having a laugh again. Alfie is settling much better and sleeeping through to a bit latter than he used to.

26th feb

Today we went so have his eye looked at again the doctor wanted a second opinion from a specialist. I thought he said it was fine. Well in fact Alfie has got a slight cateract in that right eye. She said it aint that bad and they will proberly not do anything to it. Even though she said that she has refured us to another specialist up in london at great ormond street hospital.

29th feb

Off to hospital again. This time our local one to have a check on his kidneys. Well his antibiotics has been upped to a higher dose now just becouse he is bigger. Nothing has changed they are still the same he could be on the antibiotics till he is 4 years old. Thats a long time hope it clears up but atleast he isnt in any pain with it.

6th march

Well went to london today and found out what is wrong and what there going to do. Well from what i understood at the first two checks there was not much up and that it would clear up its self. Well they did a check and put some drops in they even said that it was a slight cateract, didnt look that bad, etc. But then when they come to tell us what to do to make it better. They put it very bluntly "its either opperate or he will go blind" how the hell is that not to bad. He gotta go under anesthetic and have his eye played around with, there putting a plastic sort of disc behind his eye. Even when they do this he will never have good vision, will have to wear a contact in that eye straight away and have glasses for the rest of his life. But there are so many risks he could get a infection in the eye or the disc might not take and he will have to have another opp in 6 months.

I feel so sorry for him hes so small i am so scared about him going under anasthetic. I hope everything goes ok. I love you so much my lil chub chubs get better for mummy. Xxxxxx

7th march

Maybe are luck is in now.lol. We have been offered a 2 bed flat closser to our home town. Its privite renting and its 2 beds which is great. Just hope we get it now.

9th march

Well went for the viewing today its really nice and the people that own it are lovely. We got to go round the flat and choose what we wanted them to leave there. Its in a lovely area really quiet police station is on the same road and the primary school. Also my nan and uncle live over the road and its only 7 mins away from where my home town is wooooo.ohh and a garden lol. Just gotta wait and hear back.

10th march

Yay weve got it were know by next mon-weds our move in date way so excited. But that excitment soon blows off as thursday is nearing. I really dont want thursday but hes gotta have it done il be strong for him and just hope it all goes to plan.

Alfie got his second lot of jabs today. mummy so proud of him he was semi asleep when he had them done, he let out a few little crys buried into me and whent back to sleep. the nurse said he was the star pupil of the day.lol. Hes got his next set of jabs on the 7th of april.

13th march

Today was Alfies opp. I was so nervous all day he was being good considering he hadnt had a bottle since 6.30am and it was 2.45 before he went down i was quite suprised. Me and ric both took him down to the anasthetic room, i held him while they put him to sleep,he was looking at me the whole time bless him. It was really horible when they told me to lay him on the table and kiss him goodbye i had a little cry. i didnt think i could do that but in the end i dunno just wanted to cuddle him for as long as i could. I couldnt stop thinking bout him while he was in there. 1 1/2 hours in the end. When we went to get him i could of cried again it was horrible he was so distressed and his cry was horrile. I carried him up to the ward and he just slept most of the time.

14th march

Alfie much better now as soon as he got the bandage of today he was laughing and being happy again. We went for a check up and its already improving which is really good. We can go home now cant wait but we gotta go back on tues for clinic.
